They have a long track record of successful
performance but find themselves blocked in their career.They have high technical ability, but need to
develop the skills to market, sell or lead.They have no confidante to sort through their
thinking about opportunities, challenges and strategies.They have difficulty adapting to new and novel
situations.They are perceived as abrasive, authoritarian,
arrogant or risk-averse. The very management style that they owe much of
their past success is less viable today.They are high performing individuals with a
perceptual block that prevents them from moving to a higher
level of leadership.
They are challenged by having authority over
people NOT like themselves.They are not adept at the complex political game
of competition and cooperation.

Coaching is designed to resolve these
issues and more. Numerous studies
have shown that the number one predictor of success is the
ability to evolve and be effective in new or novel situations.
Managers can no longer rely exclusively on old “success
strategies’, ways of thinking and competencies-that worked in
the past. They must continuously evolve to meet new challenges.
